The Fifth Book of Moses CalledDeuteronomy

Chapter 6

Moses proclaims, The Lord our God is one Lord, and, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God—The children of Israel are commanded to teach their children—Moses exhorts them to keep the commandments, testimonies, and statutes of the Lord that they may prosper.

1 Now these are the commandments, the astatutes, and the bjudgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

2 That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be aprolonged.

3 ¶Hear therefore, O Israel, and aobserve to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

5 And thou shalt alove the Lord thy God with all thine bheart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy cmight.

6 And these awords, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine bheart:

7 And thou shalt ateach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt btalk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8 And thou shalt abind them for a bsign upon thine hand, and they shall be as cfrontlets between thine eyes.

9 And thou shalt write them upon the aposts of thy house, and on thy gates.

10 And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

11 And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

12 Then beware lest thou aforget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
